(AU, 75990922939) Browse eventsAt Motor Neurone Disease Association of Queensland's (MNDAQ),we aim to provide and promote the best possible support for families living with motor neurone disease within Queensland, to support research and raise awareness in our community. Since 1983, MNDAQ has been supporting people living with MND, their families and those who care for them, through the provision of information, education, support services and specialised equipment. Today, MNDAQ is committed to supporting many Queenslanders who have been affected by MND, including their families, friends, employers, and workmates. MNDAQ receives very little recurrent funding and relies heavily on community support to help people with MND to live better for longer. MND is a neurological disorder which can affect anyone at any time. The most common period is midlife, however it is increasingly affecting younger people, and can affect both men and women. For a person being diagnosed with MND, it could mean the progressive loss of the use of their limbs, their ability to speak, to swallow and to breathe, whilst their mind and senses usually remain intact. The effects of the disease are rapid, debilitating and terminal. Currently there is no known cause or cure. Please help us support people living with MND.
